Human Traditions and God’s Commandments
7 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered to him. 2 And they saw that some of his disciples were eating their[fn] bread with unclean—that is, unwashed—hands. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands ritually,[fn]thus[fn] holding fast to the traditions of the elders. 4 And when they come[fn] from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many othertraditions[fn] which they have receivedand[fn] hold fast to—for example,[fn] the washing of cups and pitchers and bronze kettles and dining couches.)[fn] 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their[fn] bread with unclean hands?”
8 Abandoning the commandment of God, you hold fast to the tradition of men.”
9 And he said to them, “You splendidly ignore the commandment of God so that you can keep[fn] your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’[fn] and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mothermust certainly die[fn].’[fn] 11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his[fn] father or to his[fn] mother, “Whateverbenefit you would have received[fn] from meiscorban”[fn] (that is, a gift to God), 12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his[fn] father or his[fn] mother, 13 thus[fn] making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down, and you do many similarthings such as this.”
